Subs or Heroes are also good for quick eating, but I have found that wraps are even better.

It's about the perfect food served at poker games at home.
So it's got be some kind of fingerfood.
What are Heroes?

Thanks in advance

Explanation:
A submarine sandwich, also known as a sub, grinder, hero, hoagie, Italian sandwich, po' boy, wedge, zep, or torpedo, is a popular Italian American sandwich that consists of an oblong roll, often of Italian or French bread, split lengthwise either into two pieces or opened in a "V" on one side, and filled with various meats, cheeses, vegetables, spices, and sauces.The sandwich has no apparent generic name, and major US cities have their own names for it. The usage of the several terms varies regionally but not in any pattern, as they have been used variously by the people and enterprises who make and sell them.
